I think it’s important for people to be aware that @staff doesn’t give a shit about their userbase. Like at all

nitnendoswinch

I’m serious. People have complained about there being Nazis and pedophiles and spambots on this site for years. Why is @staff doing something about it (and I say “doing something about it” very lightly) now? Because they got kicked off the app store. Mobile is pretty much their only reliable source of ad revenue because who the hell doesn’t have an adblocker? Come on it’s 2018. It’s the same reason YouTube demonetizes videos for seemingly no reason - because they deem it “not suitable for advertising.”

I guess what I’m trying to say - and forgive me if this sounds cliche - is that a social network’s users are not it’s customers, they are the product. Banning nsfw is solely based on a threat to tumblr’s profits.

@staff isn’t incompetent or out of touch - they literally just don’t give a shit about you.

Tom Hardy and Riz Ahmed are reading IGN comments and Riz read the comment that said “ Venom vs. Predator vs. Alien “ and Tom’s immediate reactions was to say “GANG BANG” and then make a face of REGRET™

China’s netizens are all in a twitter over the account of a carpenter who was commissioned to make a cinnabar red high-backed chair with the finials at the top to be “in the shape of dragons’ heads” (chéng lóngtóu 成龍頭). Unfortunately, he misinterpreted the directions to mean “[in the shape of] Jackie Chan’s head” (“Chénglóng tóu 成龍頭”).

(via Language Log » Reanalysis, Jackie Chan edition)

LMAO ok so to elaborate on this absolute gem, notice how the characters provided for “in the shape of dragons’ heads” and “[in the shape of] Jackie Chan’s head” are identical? That wasn’t a typo.

The thing you need to understand about Chinese names is that they all have meaning. And I don’t mean that in the sense of “if you trace the etymology back through two languages it has its roots in a Hebrew phrase that means “God is my ____” that many Western names have. I mean that in the sense of “almost all of these words are still in regular use today and my parents very literally named me “pretty [and] wise” in Chinese.

(Sidenote: This is why we get annoyed at made-up ‘Chinese’ names that just pull two random vaguely Chinese-sounding syllables together. It is blindingly obvious when it’s not a real name).

成 (chéng) means “to become”, “to turn into”. 龍 (lóng) is “dragon”. Thus, Jackie Chan’s Chinese stage name, 成龍 (Chénglóng), literally means “become dragon”. (頭 (tóu), of course, means “head”)

(Further sidenote: This is actually a bit of a pun/reference. Specifically, it is a reference to Bruce Lee, whose stage name was 小龍 (Xiǎolóng), or, “Little dragon”. So Jackie’s chosen stage name means both “become dragon”, and “become [like] Bruce Lee”)

The other thing you need to know about Chinese is that we don’t put spaces between terms in written text.

What all this means is that the way you’d write “[carve] into dragon heads” can be identical to the way you’d write “[carve] Jackie Chan’s head”, and literally the only difference would be where you pause when you vocalise it: before lóngtóu, or after chénglóng. XD

FUCK

What about cracking open a cold milkshake

crystalsoulslayer

As we all know, the milkshake brings the boys to the yard. The presence of the boys is a prerequisite for the cracking open of a cold one, but cold ones do not have any inherent boy-attracting abilities. Milkshakes, however, do. All else being equal, the boys would proceed to the milkshake yard. While it is possible to announce the presence of cold ones in the hope of attracting some boys, the pull of the milkshake is much more powerful by comparison.

mind you, all of this nonsense hinges on whether or not the boys are back in town

The question I’ve gotten the most on this trapdoor murder basement microwave post is “why???” and while there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, I’m tempted to let it remain a mystery.

However one thing that saddens me is the fact that no one has noticed you have to pretty much stand on top of an actual well to use the microwave.
